I wear fleece gloves and mittens over the top - keeps me very warm. If I wear gloves my hands get so cold, but mittens work a treat!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I HATE cold hands and have tried numerous different types. Last year I got a pair of Gordini (some else mentioned them earlier) mittens which use Goose down (Da Gore Goose II mitt). At £80 they are not cheap, but they are by far the warmest mittens I have worn, and for me, warm hands are worth every penny! 
I went into Snow and Rock to buy a pair for my wife as a Christmas present, but apparently all the stores are sold out, so obviously other people agree!

I think this thread was worth resurrecting. I bought some heated gloves in Maplins' sale last year, but the battery pack's quite big (3xAAA), they don't get terribly warm & the batteries need recharging after only a couple of hours. My sister and I both have a tendency to dead fingers (Reynaud's) so I have been looking at the options. As a poster earlier here pointed out, most mitts have inner gloves built in and they felt quite restrictive when I tried them on. Those who use mittens with silk gloves - what features do you specifically look for in the mitts? I went into TKMaxx in Doncaster today and they had none in my size, only XXL and Small.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Funnily enough I've recently researched this area. Most heated gloves seem to come with bulky/heavy dry cell battery packs.
These WarmThru glove liners use lightweight and compact lithium ion battery packs, and because they're liners you can use them with any gloves you like.

Buy 'em on Amazon for under 90 quid here.

maplins do heated ski gloves, with built in battery packs and even when the electric system is turned off the gloves are quite good anyway.All this for a hefty £15,00

skidmarks, those are the ones I bought in last year's sale for about £10. They're not that good.
crosbie, they look good, but pricey. I see that the Amazon offer includes some overgloves and the batteries that have on/off switch, but the standard version from Warmthru only includes batteries with no on/off switch. As I see it that's an essential as you don't want to be wasting any of the 3-4 hour charge time before you need it. Their HotMitts are advertised as reaching 70 degrees C.

Had a similar problem last season, new pair of The North Face - Patrol Glove II solved my problem, hands now warmer than a fat bloke's sweaty bits!

I use Burton Oven Mitts when its cold. Its a full down snowboarding mitt. The tag line on them was "if your hands get cold in these, you might want to check your pulse"!

I have bad circulation in my hands aswell, in my case due to the tiny bloodevessels in my fingers being shattered (apparantly). My hands get quite stiff when the temperature is below 10 degrees C.
I've got a pair of Reusch gloves (Race something or other) which have kept my hands nice and toasty the past 5 years (about 15 weeks of skiing), also baught a pair of Thinsulate inner gloves at the same time to wear under the Reusch but have hardly used them on account of being too warm. Don't know if their gloves are still as good as they used to be, but mine are great.

marino wool is the answer to cold and I think you can get marino wool glove liners now!!! (i'm on the look out!!!)
I also suffer from cold feet and hands, and i'm on the mountain 8 hours per day most days of the season so i've tried alot of gloves, mits etc. my best advice is mits with marino wool liners...this will be my new solution for this season!!! I'm also not shy of wearing 2 or 3 layers on my hands when its really cold!!
I agree with the comments on core body temp and again don't be shy to wear a few layers....I'm not usually seen with less than 5 layers including my ski jacket!! thats a base (helly hanson or north face best), marino wool layer, mid layer, primaloft, ski jacket. and termals bottoms can be layered to!!!!
Hope that helps you keep warm and if your cold when your out swing your arms to bring the blood back to your hands!!! looks strange but works!!!

Mitts and inner gloves- or rater two pairs of mitts. Wear one- keep a pair inside your jacket- when your hands get cold swap and repeat- the gloves you put on are always warm. This was a trick taught me by Terry Taylor- a now retired mountain guide who spent all winter ice climbing- and got his hands very cold daily- this really works well.
